Campus
The Babson campus consists of 370 acres of woods, rolling hills, and carefully landscaped grounds. The Arthur M. Blank Center for Entrepreneurship was dedicated in 1998, and provides a dynamic home for Babson's world-famous entrepreneurship program. Dedicated in the fall of 1996, F.W. Olin Hall is a four-story, light-filled structure with a soaring atrium. In 1997, Donald W. Reynolds Campus Center became the home of the bookstore, the Office of Campus Life, mailroom, Student Government Association, Campus Activities Board, Bernon Center for Public Service, Crossroads Cafe, Information Desk, Credit Union, and Woody's Coffee Bar. The building also includes meeting rooms, the Global Lounge, vendor carts, student retail spaces, commuter lockers, ATMs, and an outdoor patio—all located at the heart of the campus! The Richard W. Sorenson Center for the Arts and the Glavin Family Chapel also opened in the fall of 1997. Most recently, the Richard W. Sorenson Family Visual Arts Center opened its doors to provide students with a space to pursue their talents and explore their interests. Click here to take the virtual tour of our lovely campus.

Financial Assistance
Babson is committed to educating students from diverse backgrounds, and we will do all we can to make it financially possible for qualified students to attend Babson by distributing grants, loans, and merit-based scholarships. In recent years, Babson has met between 98 and 100 percent of undergraduate students who demonstrated financial need; the total amount awarded from all sources was over $24 million. Approximately $4 million in financial assistance was awarded to MBA students.

Undergraduate Program
The undergraduate curriculum integrates core competencies, key business disciplines, and the liberal arts into foundation, intermediate, and advanced-level courses. The competencies are rhetoric; numeracy and technology; ethics and social responsibility; international and multicultural perspectives; and leadership, teamwork, and creativity. Based on feedback from leading corporate executives, the curriculum is structured around these competencies to ensure that students develop varied skills, and are better able to adapt to an ever-changing business environment.

All first-year students participate in the Foundations of Management and Entrepreneurship, a yearlong immersion into the world of business where student teams create their own for-profit ventures. Babson teaches accounting, marketing, finance, management operations, organizational behavior, and economics in one integrated three-semester course—the Intermediate Management Experience. As part of the Advanced Program, students design their own learning plans, which can consist of upper-level elective courses in liberal arts and management, field-based experiences, and cocurricular activities.
